IIRC you can just go straight to the hotfix.

What model are your Asus monitors?

avatar_raq · Nov 6, 2010, 08:56 PM

So am I in the club or what?

I don't see the OP updated to include new names!

It's one of my favorite games that I play regularly, so I wish I could get it to work. Anyway, I will post pics up once I get it setup permanently, right now it looks like a rat's nest with all my cables and whatnot.

Still waiting on pics, guys.

utnorris · Nov 7, 2010, 02:27 PM

Yeah I know, I will try and get a pic today, had to work yesterday.

Guys lets share the cost of our eyefinity setups. For me I already had the gfx card and one BenQ display when I decided to go for EF. So the added cost was 2 x $139 (for 2 more displays) and $45 for DP->VGA adapter, ~$10 for some long cables (for better cable management of my table), so the EF actual cost was $333. I plan to get another 5870 once it's in the $200 range.

utnorris · Nov 10, 2010, 05:02 AM

Here you go:

XFX HD6870's CF - $525
3 x Dell U2211H (1920x1080) - $650

Loving Black Ops on Eyefinity, but I cannot seem to get it to work in Portrait mode.

SystemViper · Nov 28, 2010, 08:28 PM

Wow that screenie of Black Ops has me drooling. I use 3 monitors for work so i need to figure out what i need to change to get it done... right now i use a 4850x2 and use 3 dvi ports on the card to drive my monitors.

I take it i need a newer ATI card to make it work.....
looks like it's worth the effort,

good thread!

It is pretty nice, but yes, you need a HD5xxx or HD6xxx to do it or two GTX260 or better Nvidia cards.

I thought it was ATI cards only?

What products support AMD Eyefinity technology?
AMD Eyefinity technology was introduced in AMD's latest line of ATI Radeon™ HD 5000 Series graphics products which includes the following:

AMD Radeon™ HD 6870 GPUs
AMD Radeon™ HD 6850 GPUs
ATI Radeon™ HD 5970 GPUs
ATI Radeon™ HD 5800 Series GPUs
ATI Radeon™ HD 5700 Series GPUs
ATI Radeon™ HD 5670 GPUs
ATI Radeon™ HD 5500 Series GPUs
ATI Radeon™ HD 5450 GPUs
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5400 Series or higher GPUs
Note: These products support up to 6 display pipelines per GPU and the total number of display pipelines depends on the GPU as implemented by the manufacturer.1 Also, at least 3 simultaneous, active display outputs, including one DisplayPort™ connector are required to support AMD Eyefinity technology. Please consult the manufacturer of a particular product to confirm if it supports this feature.

I do have a HD 5670 in my HTPC but that isn;t really for gaming, lol

Well Nvidia Surround is just like eyefinity, but requires two cards.

NAVI_Z · Dec 1, 2010, 09:21 PM

man i love these posts! my monitors r still sitting in my closet due to not enough space for three rite now

. my xfx 5870 is begging for eyefinity! the adapter i have is the AMD version.
full active not passive. only $30 US. i wonder what NFS Hot Persuit looks like in eyefinity? does anyone have the game and if so, can you post some pics please.thanx.

utnorris · Dec 2, 2010, 12:02 AM

Make the space, especially for driving games. You will never want to play the game without it again, seriously.

t_ski · Dec 2, 2010, 02:36 AM

If it's anything close to what NFS: Shift is like, it would be awesome. Between the Eyefinity and the force feedback steering wheel and the 5.1 surround sound, I feel like I'm actually in the race car (minus the G's).

avatar_raq · Dec 2, 2010, 11:12 AM

I have both NFS : Shift and Hot Pursuit and I can tell that HP looks good in EF but Shift looks far better, especially when you consider the centered HUD and cockpit cam in shift. In a matter of fact Shift is the best game I came across in regard to native EF support.

NAVI_Z · Dec 2, 2010, 01:44 PM

sweet! i'd love to see some pics in EF.you guys talked me into it. my wife is gonna kill me but it will be worth it!!

i'll check back when i have it set up.

Avarice · Dec 6, 2010, 08:22 AM

****update****

count me in

Volkszorn88 · Dec 6, 2010, 08:24 AM

Going to mount all 3 monitors to my wall, will upload pics as soon as I get around to it.

What you need to help sort out your CoD woes is this I use it on my EF set-up, Which I will most likely post pics of tomorrow, and it's simple enough to set it up and you really enjoy the game sooooo much more.

lilkiduno · Dec 9, 2010, 03:13 PM

My set up:
3x Acer S211H <- $390
XFX 5850 1GB <- Thanks to Xazax for the awesome deal! $190

Now the picture:

The Von Matrices · Dec 16, 2010, 11:24 AM

I guess I'm the first person to post an NVidia surround system on here, so I might as well share my experiences with it. I bought my 2 GTX 470's about 4 months ago to update my aging Q9450/HD4850CF system; I was considering 5850 CF, but the need for a $80 DP to Dual link DVI adapter turned me off (single link ones weren't available back then). I got my three 25.5" Asus VW266H monitors on the cheap ($60 MIR's for each!)

The biggest problem I had was that I have a small house and a small desk. I just couldn't fit three monitors on the stands on my current desk and I didn't have the space to fit a bigger desk that I could fit three monitors on. I solived this by buying $20 clamp mount brackets off Monoprice.com and modified them by drilling holes so that I could bolt them to the sides of the desk. To cover up the gaps between the monitors taped black electrical tape over the caps. It actually blends in very well with the bezels.

I actually really like the way my case turned out considering that I didn't do any drilling/modifications. I was able to exhange my DFI LP UT X48-T3RS motherboard (CF support but no SLI) for a XFX 790i Ultra (SLI support but no CF) in an even trade through a great deal I arranged with someone else online. Better than that, my new MB was able to get an additional 266MHz out of the CPU.

I'm still frustrated that changing from surround mode to individual display mode requires you to click through 6 prompts, but I can't be the only one with this problem so I have hope that NVidia will implement hotkeys in the future.

MoonPig · Dec 16, 2010, 11:27 AM

That's real nice mate.

Would love to get two more of these monitors, but that's £500 right there! lol.

Maybe one day in the future

Thanks for the info and the pics, but as of right now, this is just ATI Eyefinity. The idea was to share setups and info regarding Eyefinity and not Nvidia Surround, as the software and configurations are different.

To cover up the gaps between the monitors taped black electrical tape over the caps. It actually blends in very well with the bezels. I actually really like the way my case turned out considering that I didn't do any drilling/modifications. I was able to exhange my DFI LP UT X48-T3RS motherboard (CF support but no SLI) for a XFX 790i Ultra (SLI support but no CF) in an even trade through a great deal I arranged with someone else online. Better than that, my new MB was able to get an additional 266MHz out of the CPU. I'm still frustrated that changing from surround mode to individual display mode requires you to click through 6 prompts, but I can't be the only one with this problem so I have hope that NVidia will implement hotkeys in the future.
